Oaffion <br />Tide Planning Diitctor f <br />Administrator Reviewed: <br />yn\ <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: 2005 Marina Licenses: <br />1) North Shore Marina East (formerly Windward Marina) <br />2) Minnetonka Marine (formerly Kings Cove) <br />3) Sailor's World <br />4) North Shore'Marina <br />5) Wayzata Marine <br />List of Exhibits <br />1 • Marina Information Summary <br />(Par caca AapUcatlM) <br />A - 2005 Application <br />B - Site Plan <br />Licensing Update <br />License year2005 marina license applications and fees have been received from each of the five Orono <br />marinas. License year 2(X)3 marina license applicatiens and fees were received in early 2(X)3 but have not <br />been issued, and no license applications fin*2004were mailed out or processed. This memo is requesting <br />Council qiproval fix issuance oflicenses fix’the period January 1,2005 - December 31,2(X)5, retroactive <br />to January 1,2003. <br />In the past, staffhas attempted to inspect each marina in mid-season, with annual licenses presented to <br />Council fi>r formal q>ptovalsh(Xtly thereafter. Thisaraiual inspection process, which is not required bv <br />code, did not occur in 2003 or2004 and has yet to be completed for 2005. However, staffhas visited <br />a number of the marinas within the past 2 years for non-license related reasons. <br />The deh^ in license processing until an inflection has been completed, is cumbersome for staff and pethiq)s <br />unfiur to the marinas, and should be discontinued. Tlie marinas do rut require an inordinate amount of staff <br />time, and generate very few conqilaints. It is staffs recommendation that the processing of armualmarirui <br />I icenses be completed upon their submittal (usually in the early firing), and any issues with the Operation <br />Standards be dealt with as they arise during the year, or be dealt with as azoning matter ifthat is the case. <br />Fire Safety laspccthms <br />The Fire Marshal conducts an inspectian of each marina once every 2 years for compliance with State Fire <br />Code regulations. At this time there are no outstanding issues. <br />Kb.:■ami I /fthiMii itilJatflfMbtitil ~ I ■ lia I Drill m •rassi.ajAAl nm^ aiy
